It doesn't really sound like a threat to me.

Perhaps it wasn't. But what would some of her supporters make of a "shrill" statement like that? How many threats of physical violence will Suzie get from Landrieu's supporters who want to respond in a way that they perceive that Mary would want them to?

"Shrill statements" like that can escalate, and "foment" people to anger. That's how things happen in Muslim countries, for instance.

Ask Tom Daschle.

It does sound that Senator Landrieu may have borrowed from the playbook of her friend Tom Daschle and ran her mouth once too often to her own detriment.

Is Terrell making an issue out of Landrieu's and Breaux's votes against the confirmation of SC Judge Shedd?
